There's no possible way the fan can pull enough current to kill four minutes of run time. Also, your reduced run time + decreased temps can only mean one thing:
There's something wrong with your battery or your charger.
Start watching and taking notes on how many MHA the pack is taking on the charge cycle. When I was charging at 20 amps, the batteries would take 50% less charge and hit the lipo cutoff in the speed control. I thought my pack was rooked but I switched back to 8 amps and everything was fine again.

Im only charging the reedy 5200 60c's at 5.2 amps even though it takes forever.
George' You going to race at four seasons today? I'm not going to yet but will very soon. I need more wheel time on this truck but so far I'm really happy with it.

My sc10 4x4 is currently 2712 grams thats 5.978 pounds aready to run. Thats with all the aluminum hubs, steering rack, exotek shock parts and 30g of jconcepts weights. The most I would go is 30g more for the ken block themed bodies I run. Nobody is wrong if somthing wirks for them.

You should look at the charger and check how many MHA the battery takes every time. If it usually takes, say 4200 MHA and all of a sudden only takes 3500 MHA and you lose 4 minutes of runtime....something's up.

It's the esc fan the batteries are brand new and charging to full capacity, charging at 5.2amps. All I'm saying is that running back to back fan/no fan there is a noticable difference in run time and punch when the battery gets below say 40% Have you ran the orion r10 pro fan before? Its the most powerful fan I've ever seen on any esc, including sxx tc, mmp, rx8, mamba monster etc...don't make me pull the fan and measure the current draw to prove my point. Lol.

Look at this video of the fan, that thing is ridiculous.

Instead of dealing with the local hobby shop im dealing with Viper directly.
My 3900kv Viper system the motor locked up so maybe I'll get a replacement in a few weeks after I send the old one in. I hear they have good customer service so I'll find out. Five runs for a motor to lock up thou, at least I
got to enjoy that powerful system before it crapped out on me. 4 pole motor in a 2wd is pretty quick.
I plan on buying the Copperhead 550 system still, one going bad wont stop me.

I have found that a bow-fighter, Enduro or similar tire is working best for me. I am racing 8th scale buggy nitro and electric mainly but always like to break out the Short Course to try to gains some interest.
